==Introduction==
I've read many wurmians use a 3D modeling tool to plan their projects, Because of that i've decided to make a Guide for one of these software,[http://sketchup.google.com/ Google Sketchup]. It's not very hard to understand and you'll soon find out you're able to plan a wurm project with it.
==The Basics==
Sketchup isn't very hard. You can learn the basics in a couple of minutes using the [http://sketchup.google.com/training/videos.html oficial tutorials] or the [http://download.sketchup.com/downloads/training/tutorials50/Sketchup%20Video%20Tutorials.html Advanced video guides]. The only thing i can say is try to make some simple things like blocks first, when you think you're ready for the wurm mapping, read on.
==Wurm Mapping==
Before you make something in Sketchup i suggest you use a 2d mapping tool like [http://discon.googlepages.com/mapper.html this one] first
* Make sure the the measures in the lower right box are in metres,if not go to preferences and set it to metric meters 3D in template tab.
* Now select make a square of 4x4 meters. Just start drawing a square and type 4,4 then hit enter.
* Copy the squares to make a grid
* Download the needed models from Wurm on the Sketchup Warehouse.
* Click on the paint bucket and sample the paint from the needed tile type.
* Paint the tiles in grid.
====Slopes====
* Use the move tool to raise land, click on the corner you want to raise/lower press up key and raise/lower the corner .1M per dirt high
====Houses and fences====
* Download the needed house models, fence models and gate models.
** If you need a pallisade, Draw a some circles next to eachother and pull them to around 5 metres high. You can make cones on them as well if you like
** If you need a Tall stone wall, make a rectangle as long as a tile border, and pull it to 5 metres high.
* Start placing the models in the correct place, always make sure the outside of a wall has to line up with the tile border.
====Roofs====
* Place roofs above the houses using the roof models tich made.
* If you want to combine the 1/4th parts with the 1x1 parts, place them next to eachother and fix them.
====Cleaning the map up====
* Delete all guides and unneeded stuff
* Take a look at the landscape components in windows -> components.
* Add some trees if you wish, but keep in mind they strongly increase your map size
If you need any help send [[Player:Beastenator|me]] a pm ingame or on the forums (name: Beast)
